Abstract

objective: to investigate the effect of percutaneous coronary intervention in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome. Methods: a retrospective analysis of 100 patients with acs in our hospital's cardiology department was divided into 50 elderly patients (age ≥60 years) and 50 young patients (ages <60 years). They all received pci and received complete revascularization observe the characteristics of coronary lesions, surgical success rate, complications, and short-term and long-term complications during follow-up. Results: compared with the young group, elderly patients were more likely to have hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Multivessel disease, left main disease, and> 35 mm long lesions were more common. The success rate of pci and surgical complications were similar in the two groups. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of major cardiovascular adverse events (mace) during the six-month follow-up and out-of-hospital follow-up. Conclusion: elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome have more lesion sites and branches, and the effect of coronary intervention is better.
